Thank You to Everyone that has been commenting, sharing and being nice to me!! I almost quit making these videos in April, May and June! I felt like I was talking only to myself, except for the occasional hater 🤣 This channel is part of my self therapy, but now it feels like Group Therapy 😁😁😁 You are ALL the Coolest! 💙

Paul Lynde was once asked on the Hollywood Squares "What are two things you should never do in bed?" Without hesitation, he shot back with "Point and laugh." That's why we're still talking about him, and I hope we always will be.

Best Paul Lynde moment on "Hollywood Squares:" Peter Marshall: "If a man falls off a boat, you yell "Man overboard!" What do you yell if a woman falls off a boat?" Paul Lynde: "Full speed ahead!"

As a little girl, I loved the 1973 Charlotte’s Web cartoon movie. I used to watch it over and over. I can recognize his voice anywhere as Templeton the rat. He’s very animated and was born to be in show biz. I’m so glad he didn’t give up, and got himself help, very courageous especially in those days!

My very favorite Paul Lynde line from Hollywood squares was when he was asked "Paul, who stays pregnant longer, your wife, or your elephant?" and Lynde replies in perfect comedy timing "who told you about my elephant?" I still LMAO every time I see it.

Paul Lynde was waaaaay ahead of his time. Some of his one-liners were hilarious.

I am 65. There’s so few of us left who absolutely love these old, classic TV shows. Thank you for all your hard work keeping these memories alive. 💕

As do most of us Baby Boomer era folks, I just loved Paul Lynde. From his hilarious appearances on Bewitched to movies, TV specials, and of course, The Hollywood Squares, watching this unique funny man was always a great treat. RIP Paul, you are truly missed. 💖

I remember enjoying watching Paul Lynde throughout the 70's on the squares.I could watch re runs all day and never get bored.A true comedic genius.He is missed.

I loved him as Uncle Arthur on Bewitched.

Real talent. You just don't see it anymore.

His infectious sense of humor and the laugh that followed was priceless and his legacy. He definitely deserved that raise on Hollywood Squares.

Two thumbs up here from me for concentrating on the positive aspects of his career, and for showing just what a comic genius he was. He is legend; there will never be another like him.

I grew up seeing and hearing Paul on TV and movies. His voice was iconic, and he went well before his time. Much respect for his career and life.

I love this channel, it brings me back to the good old days. I "met" Paul Lynde, in 1973 or 1974, I think, can't remember exactly. I was in San Juan, Puerto Rico, in the Condado area, he was unfortunately very drunk and lost, he was too heavy for one person to carry people kept saying "call the police" but we new what would happen to him if we did, so it took a couple of hours just to find out where he was staying. It took three people to help him get to his hotel. To this day I'm convinced that he never knew how he got to the hotel. I'm sure the hotel staff were very discreet about the whole situation. Plus I don't think they knew who he was. There was no cable tv at that time in the Island. He was a great actor who had a tough life.

I loved how he would laugh at his own jokes with a big grin on his face. He has such a quick wit..No one could deliver a zinger better than he did.

The voice of the 70's. Paul Lynde's voice was in ALL the cartoons. He was one of the many outstanding talents of that *Grand* era !

I LOVED Paul Lynde! You never knew what would come out of that mouth of his!

My favorite joke from Paul Lynde was on Bewitched when he said “My feet are killing me” and he had two guns on his feet shooting him I still find that hilarious 🤣🤣🤣

Bewitched was one of my favorite shows when I was a kid and Paul Lynde's Uncle Arthur was a real treat. Thank you for your review of his career.

I saw Paul on most of those shows, movies and game shows and I always thought that he did a stellar job. I couldn't care less what his sexual orientation was.....he was Paul...a talented and caring person with a love of booze. Geniuses are rarely understood. Paul was a comedic genius. RIP Paul.

Paul didn't need to use coarse language because he was a Master with the innuendos. The whole family could watch his show and he was funny for the kids but hilarious for the adults because the kids didn't understand.

I always loved Paul Lynde, whether it was Bewitched, Hollywood Squares or the movies. His role in Bye, Bye Birdie. My favorite quote from Hollywood Squares was Peter Marshall asked “When is the best time to pluck your eyebrows” he replied very confused “August?”

His voice quick wit and body language was awesome. If Paul couldn't make a person laugh they were hopeless. Excellent history 👏 . Thank you.

What a thorough and complete history of this great comedian. Excellent work! Great video!

i was a kid in the 70s and loved paul lynde on hollywood squares. even if you didn't get the jokes, it was his personality and delivery that made everything funny.

When I was a kid, I thought there was something “different” about Paul. As an adult I realized what that difference was. He was a funny guy and quite risqué for his time. RIP funny guy.

Paul was one hilarious person... Those Hollywood Squares shows were hysterical... And he was probably the quickest thinking person in the business at the time. Absolute genius.

Wow, his dad was so supportive! Good for him, but too bad he died so young. It would have probably made him so happy to see his son’s success.

I loved watching him on Hollywood Squares!

Thank you for setting the record straight on Paul’s manner of death. I had heard the tawdry tale and believed until today. You have done Paul justice.

I use to love his laugh along with his voice and how he would shake his head after a witty remarks. RIP Miss you Paul

Nice tribute to a real talent.

I loved Paul Lynde in everything I saw him in. I think for me it was his voice, delivery & definitely his sass. It's funny that he & Alice Ghostly sounded so similar. with how they spoke.

Loved Paul Lynde, he was hysterical! What a great dad he has. Tragic his family dying so young! Thank you!!

I remember watching Hollywood Squares just because I loved Paul Lynde. His humor was so out of the box. Insanely funny! Thanks for this video. I laughed all over again.

❤ group therapy! Watching Bewitched as a kid I always thought Uncle Arthur was the biggest kid ever. Thanks for sharing and have a nice evening 😊👍

One of my favorites, love that sharp wit. Another one from Hollywood squares: question: why do motorcyclist wear leather? His response, because chiffon wrinkles

He was one of the funniest men that ever lived! He always made me laugh, growing up watching him!

The most accurate and true story of Paul Lynde,I believe that heart valve problems run genetically in families and there was no controversy over the man's death...just a great and over the top comedien and great showman with a great career in comedy...the greatness speaks for itself about this man.

Losing Paul was a huge loss. He was so funny, and his sassy voice, I loved so much!

Paul was a treasure. I saw him as a kid on Bewitched and was hooked. I am sure I learned 'snarkiness' very early on because of Bewitched. RIP Paul Lynde

I was a very young kid when I saw "Bye-Bye Birdie," and I've never forgotten that, "Not until you're 21 it's not," line, which made me laugh out loud at the time. Best scene, and best number ("What's the Matter With Kids Today?") in the film if you ask me. Thanks for posting this, and well done.

Great presentation, Paul was an absolute natural comedian and had the fastest wit on any subject matter as I had ever seen in my 59 years. Hollywood Squares was an amazing show. Wish the reruns were broadcast instead if the junk we have now.

That was great! For me ,the funny thing is you always knew it was Paul Lynde no matter what character he played.And it didn't matter,he was that funny.

Paul’s Dad was amazing…; it’s sad that Paul had lost all his family so quickly.

I really appreciate how well this was done, respecting the man and his life, and pointing out how the media tries to sensationalize everything. Also, how a person's sexuality did not define them, their actions, or their history as they were known to viewers. After all, the vast majority of us didn't really know him personally, so I am grateful that his legacy was reviewed in the way that we all knew him, and not focusing on things that only a few people knew about. It would have been very tempting to at once claim that the media exaggerated this or that, and then for the sake of engaging content do exactly that in this kind of a review. I might just be only one person, but I appreciate the professionalism that went into making this video, and splicing everything together takes a very long time. Thanks for the effort!

He was a wonderfully gifted comedian and still missed even today

I'm with you. My earliest memories of a "celebrity" are of Paul Lynde. He had quite a presence, especially on Hollywood Squares. I didn't know "gay" from anything back in the 70s, nor did I care. I was too young. I also didn't understand what came to be known as "camp". I just knew all Paul Lynde had to do was show up, flash that huge toothy smile and say something snarky, and I'd crack up. He was "that" guy.

My most epic Lynde moment was the Halloween special where he showed the band Kiss to the US. The rest is history.

Who could hate Paul Lynde? Loved his energy

I found this video very enlightening. I was born in the 70’s, but had a very old soul. My parents used to watch Bewitched. That was back in the days when there was only one television in most peoples houses. So, I grew up watching what they watched. I am thankful for this. I was exposed to a lot of wonderful actors, actresses, and GREAT television shows. I, like you (the creator of this page) thought Paul Linde was exasperatingly funny to me…even though I was a child. I may not have gotten every joke (due to my age) but the ones I did get resulted in hearty guffaws for sure. His razor sharp wit was timeless and is still unmatched in my opinion. I thank him for having enough guts to go after his dreams. It did me a world of good…even to this day. To the creator of Cool Classics: Thank you for your efforts. I truly appreciate your approach and the persons you cover. Keep doing what you do.

That was way cool. He was a class act and definitely his talent for comedy shines in every part he played, that was a cool montage of his Hollywood Squares bits 👍

Someone once asked Paul why he never married. He answered “ ? You live under a rock? “ Makes me laugh every time

His voice matched with his delivery makes his sarcastic delivery just perfect, the man also had an incredibly quick wit.

No one could beat Paul laughing 😂

Oh my God that man was so funny! It was such a loss when he passed away. I wish the comedian's nowadays could be half as funny as he was.

I love the slant you give to all of your tributes and this one to Paul was especially good. So much information I never knew. Paul was once the week's guest host on the Mike Douglas show and I remember him telling Mike he had dreamed of being a Shakespearean actor but every time he read lines, the audience would laugh. Mike told him to fulfill his dream right then and promised the audience wouldn't laugh. Of course he hadn't recited ten words from Macbeth before everyone was roaring. He just turned to Mike and said, "See what I mean?"

Love this segment of Paul Lin and his life's work. Loved him in the Bewitched show and everything about the Bewitched show and all the characters thank you so much for this entertainment. I was born in 63 and this was the best television ever when I was a kid.

The time and talent you invest in all your movies is incredible. Talent in research, composition, editing and your vocal talent. Thank you.

He was so talented and funny. So tragic about his family though. Too bad they didn't get to see his amazing career.

I also did not get a lot of his jokes back then when I was much younger but just the sound of his voice would crack a smile on my face 😃

This guy was infectious. I was only young but remember the expressions he made were as funny as the gags!

Paul Lynde was absolutely the star of Hollywood Squares. It was his best move ever to clean up and take a year off. He was memorable on that show, the one liners were and still are killer. Especially the innuendo, and the gay subtext: "your slip is showing". The X on his grave is for his final triumph. In the end, the most beloved character that Paul Lynde could play...was himself.

Uncle Arthur was part of the fabric of my growing up. I loved Paul Lynde. He was funny as hell.

Paul Lynde was one of a kind. Funny, silly and sometimes outrageous! A class act

He was one of the best. As a little kid, I always wanted to see Uncle Arthur on Bewitched, and his time on Hollywood Squares was as good as comedy gets.

All of the shows he was in were staples around our house and he was always hilarious to us. Thanks for the biography of him. Very informative and also brings his humor back even if for a brief few minutes

I’ve been a fan of Paul Lynde- as far back as I can remember…like you I thought he was hilarious always- even at an age when I probably didn’t really understand the subject. Thanks.

Thanx for doing this! Paul was always one of the funniest people of my childhood in the 60's and 70's, and there were a lot of funny people around then.

What amazes me today, is when I run across some of Paul's performances, especially Hollywood squares, and his humor is often so "risqué". Must have driven the censors nuts back in the day! Of course, in those days, it just flew right over my head.

As a man turning 55 soon...simply, wow. Like yourself, i too have always appreciated his energy on Bewitched and Hollywood Squares. Thank you for making this. Peace! 🌱

Thank you for giving an honest take on Paul's life. personally I loved the man, his sense of humor cracked me up. I loved the man.

About 1980 I went to a restaurant in Atlanta with a group of friends and business associates. After we were seated, somebody noticed that Paul Lynde was at the table next to us with 3 or 4 others. We just let him have his privacy. I really enjoyed his sharp sense of humor.

I used to watch Bewitched as a kid. Paul Lynde was so funny. He became one of my favorites 😊

A master of humor.....loved by millions.

If ever there was a man born before his time it was him. He made brave jokes for someone in the Hollywood closet so just imagine the jokes if he were here in 2021! He was so funny and so great at his craft. Thank you for putting this together.

What happened to his family is so terrible and shocking. Can’t imagine what that would have been like to cope with.

I have and still love the comedic genius Paul Lynde So sorry he is gone!!

Me too. He was so funny. I liked him on Hollywood Squares, and Bewitched.

Paul is COOL! He was among the very Best! But He had his moments! His Hollywood Squares shows were AWESOME!

Its such a shame he died, especially since he was sober and starting to be happy within himself after a hard life full of disappointments. Sometimes life is cruel and being a gay man myself I can relate and its not always easy. Thankyou for your videos, I was born a year before he died and thanks to bewitched I have loved him every since. A very underrated comedian R.I.P Paul you made a lot of people happy and future generations will forever see you immortalised on the screen.

Always loved seeing Paul in any thing.. He brought a special spark that elevated the scene

He was always was one of my favorites. I would watch Hollywood Squares everyday just to see him be funny. America loved him.

He was a fantastic comedian. He could make you laugh at a funeral. He had a rare talent. I never saw him do anything that didn't make me laugh.

Paul Lynde was absolutely hilarious! He could crack me up by just reading a telephone directory! On BEWITCHED, Bernard Fox, who was also hilarious, appeared more times as Doctor Bombay than Paul Lynde as Uncle Arthur. But Paul Lynde left a bigger impact.

Wow this brings back such nostalgia...I love nostalgia. I remember when I was in my teens watching Paul Lynde and his brilliant comedy! RIP - and wow it has been 40 years!

The improv from The Hollywood Squares was hilarious. I was drying tears the whole time. I think John Ritter was cut from the exact same cloth.

No, please don’t stop! Your videos are fantastic. Giving all of us the backstory on all of these wonderful people whom we have grown up watching. You do an excellent job, providing in-depth information (that must take some time gathering) that most of us would never ever know about. Paul Lynde was a gem, loved his sense of humor and timing and quick wit. Bewitched, the Munsters and Squares being my favorite. I’m mean, I know what the line or “punch line” is going to be, and I still burst out laughing. In part, because of the way he says it. My mistake was watching this while eating my breakfast. After that question about Liz Taylor and he answers “her chin”, I am now cleaning up my iPad of the cereal I was eating. No kidding, lol. Keep up the good work you do. For you, and for us!

Paul Lynde's humor shone thru so beautifully in Hollywood squares. And there's no way ppl didn't know he was gay. 😉

I love Paul Lynde! He is certainly missed. Thanks for awakening old memories

What a great tribute to a legendary actor and comedian.

As a kid I couldn’t understand a lot of his jokes on Bewitched, I Dream Of Genie, and Hollywood Squares either, but it was the way he said them that made him funny to me. He was flamboyant, quick witted, and playful.

I LOVED Paul Lynde. I didn't know his name, but whenever I saw him, I thought, "Oh, it's him!!" I was addicted to Bewitched and loved when Uncle Arthur showed up!! Thank you for this video. I'm glad I found you. I'll be watching more!!

I remember him in 1979s The Villain as Nervous Elk. Thanks for showing the Hollywood squares clips. What personality he had.

I've really enjoyed this one, Paul was truly funny....

I absolutely loved him. I was crazy about uncle Arthur, and I loved Templeton. Nobody else could have done his voice like Paul.

There's not much more I could ask for in a nice and tight career retrospective. I needed this! I wish my dad had been alive to watch this. He was a fan, and Ive been growing in my fandom. You've done the work (that would've taken me 8+ hours of rabbit hole googling with mediocre results) to bring all this information together in a respectful yet honest bio. Now I feel knowledgable enough to talk about this icon and comedic legend... and to share it with others. My next goal is to work on my quick & naughty Lynde retorts. He's inspiring. PS: Many of his one liners are giving Mae West... I wonder if they ever crossed paths or if he was inspired by her, at least some of his one liners.

Well Done!! Growing up in the 60's and 70's, I adored him and his sense of humor. Thank you for your great synopsis of this brilliant funny man's life.

Although like must people of my generation will always remember Paul Lynde as uncle Arthur on the classic series Bewitched. He was also very funny in every thing else he appeared in also . His own show , The Paul Lynde Show really deserved a much longer run then it received, only 26 episodes shameful ...
